Everyone in the room had their forehead squeezed in confusion as they wondered what call could be so time sensitive.Michael looked up at Maggie and asked, “From whom?”“It’s from Mr. Connor’s office; I was told to put you on the call right now,” Maggie explained.“Okay, Michael muttered as he faced the room and said, “I’ll be right back.”Michael left, going over to his own office to pick up the call on his phone. All eyes turned to Anna, the same thought running through their minds.“I’m sure that has something to do with the outrageous promise Anna has put us in,” Nancy said.“It could be good news; I mean, Maggie was all smiles just now,” Nat stated with a smile.“And it could be bad news too, who knows when it comes to Connor Media,” Larry stated.“Why don’t we take this time to go over the file in front of us?” Clayton suggested, smiling at them.“In as much as I would like to hear what you have to say, I really do not think we have the luxury of time for another of your ideas,”

Anna turned to Michael, her brows squeezed together since his face was totally unreadable. The whole room was silent as they stared at her and Michael.“What’s wrong?” Anna asked, adding, “What did I do to what?”“You see, I knew she was going to cause a major issue. She has, hasn’t she?” Nancy asked Michael.“Michael, what did Mr. Connor say? Is he cutting us off?” Sarah asked.Michael stood there staring at Anna, stone-faced, making others more certain that Anna must have complicated matters again.Clayton closed his eyes, rubbing his temple, thinking about how he was going to explain his dilemma to Loveth now that Anna had destroyed the only chance they had.Clayton cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Gary, I’m sorry, I can explain, why don’t…”Michael’s face transformed suddenly into a smile, his lips curling up as he spread his hands.Clayton trailed off at the change on Michael’s face, unsure of what he had been about to say.“We just got our contract with Connor Media extended!”

“Go ahead and explain it to us, or isn’t that the reason why you called for this meeting?” Paul asked.Noah looked at Simon and could visibly see he was trying to contain his anger. He turned and saw the doubt on the faces of others gathered in the room.“Does this have anything to do with what you didn’t want my father to find out?” Gideon asked Simon.“Hmm,” Noah coughed slightly, standing up to address the room as he added, “Can we have a few minutes of break? How about we gather here in the next twenty minutes?”“I think that is an excellent idea; we’ll reconvene in exactly twenty minutes,” Simon muttered.Every other person in the room except Simon, Noah, Paul, and Gideon left the room. They all understood the family wanted some alone time to discuss.Simon turned to Paul and asked, “Could you clarify what you were trying to say earlier?”“Oh please, don’t play dumb with me. We both know the funding I am talking about. That is the core of some of the innovations we are trying to

Noah looked at him and said, "Come with me; let's discuss this in my office.""We can do that in my office," Simon responded, since his office was on the same floor."Okay," Noah agreed."Emily, make sure nobody comes in for now," Simon instructed."Alright, sir," Emily responded as they closed the door behind them."So, what exactly did Gideon do that I do not know about?" Simon asked."Five years ago when you were…" As Noah spoke, he glanced over at Simon, noticing the resistance on his face."Sorry," Noah muttered."It's fine. Was that why I knew nothing about it?" Simon asked."Yes, your grandfather suspected that Gideon had deceived some organizations, but because of public opinion, we couldn't delve deep into it." Noah explained.Simon remained silent, pondering what his father said as he started to pace."So nobody checked? And he is just allowed to continue working here?" Simon asked after a few seconds of silence."What I know is that it was closed at that point." Noah respon

The next day, as Simon and William walked into the head office, they met Gideon in the lobby. A broad smile was on his face, making the hair on Simon’s back stand in suspicion.“I was about to go see you,” Gideon said, smiling at Simon.Simon looked around trying to be sure the smile was directed at someone else and not him.“Are you looking for someone?” Gideon asked.“No, hmmm,” Simon cleared his throat and added, “You were going to see me about what?”“I will leave for the meeting with Zhang Telecoms; I just wanted you to send an approval for that on time.” Gideon explained.Simon was taken aback for a split second before he said, “I said we were going to discuss the specifics later, since we could not come to an agreement yesterday.”“Oh, but we did; it was your father who was against it. Since you’re the boss, I guess your word is final,” Gideon shrugged.Simon’s left brow went up in surprise at Gideon’s words. There was something about him, but he couldn’t say exactly what it wa
